You're just starting high school? I thought you were older than that, you always seemed smarter than me.

Your school sounds a lot like mine, with the scheduling and classes. Someone told me that 9th and 12th graders tend to get swamped the most with work.. freshman year because you're getting used to the upgrade, and senior year because you're getting ready for college.

Anyways, have fun in high school, and remember to keep up with those extracurricular activities. Try to get into a sport, too (though your medical problem you mentioned sounds like it might keep you out of it for a bit ).

Hello. Glad you're alive.

...

Basically, thing's've been really busy, as this is my first year in high school. Granted, I've only got four classes a day with intensive scheduling, but I've got each of them for an hour and a half each, which means lots of stuff to go over at night, lots of tests 'n quizzes to study for, and, mainly in the case of Science, no shortage of homework.

...

Right now, in addition to basic homework, I've now got to practice my cello, (you actually have to try now, because it's a major class that you get a grade for T~T) work on stuff for Forensics, (not like the CSI stuff, like debate stuff) work on a newspaper article when I have one, (I'm on the school newspaper - hooray for me!) in addition to whatever else I have planned in my life, like piano on Thursdays and tennis on Sundays.

...

And, to continue my story, if that weren't enough, I'm getting braces on soon. At 14. >.< Much bleh. I'm getting spacers on in probably around a month, or whenever we scheudule it for, and then I'll have 'em on for a year and a half, or until mid- to late-10th grade, when I'm 15. Wow.

Oh, and, also, not so important, a medical problem of mine involving my kidneys has recently gone into a relapse. It's nothing too major, but it means I have to take a large dose of immunosuppressents every morning, which means my immune system isn't doing quite as well, plus, it's got weird side effects, like possibly weight gain, occasional insomnia, etc. Also, for some reason, my face swells up if I have too much salt while it's happening, so I'm on a low-salt diet.

And, that's my life in a nutshell. So, how're you guys doing?

And... now I'm getting called down for dinner, followed by which I'm going to synagogue for Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement. Yes, I'm Jewish.

Byez!

Sounds like my freshman year, with the 4 classes a semester and all that. I took all honors that year. Ugh. I left two honor courses this year, not like they help you in anyway. You'll survive, regardless.

Two instruments, tennis, and the newspaper? Wow. No wonder you're busy.

Spacers suck. Horribly. Sorry to tell you that, but I don't want to lie. After that, it just takes getting used to. Hope you don't like gum.

Hope your kidneys get better.... Glad it's not serious.

YOU"RE JEWISH?! Oh, wait, I learned that quite a while back.

I've always heard that Freshman year and Junior year are the worst . Freshman year for me was quite busy, but so far in Junior year things are easy (And they will probably stay that way) . Senior year I've heard is just busy and crammed with things you have to do (College applications, SAT, etc.).

I can verify that .
